- How has your life changed since American Idol?
This is such a loaded question! American Idol opened so many doors for me a lot sooner than I ever expected. You name it and I have experienced it since Idol. From travel, to networking, owning my own business, and I believe the best is yet to come!
- You were once headed to law school. Do you have any good study skills or tips that you use that have helped you remember and retain information?
Taking good notes was always a good study skill for me. I would even re-write my notes on index cards. There is something about the repetition, it really gets into your brain.
- You said on Idol Rewind that Band of Gold was a song you didn't like so why did you record it?
I don't remember saying that, but I must have or you wouldn't have said that. Putting that song on the album was a management/ label decision.
- Would you ever do a gospel album?
Absolutely. It has to be the right time for me.
- What type of different musical styles will you be exploring on your third album?
Good question let me think about that one...
- Is Curb Records going to take a different angle at promoting you after your second album didn't sell that well despite good reviews and strong radio airplay?
Ask Curb!!!!! Let me know what they say! ;-)
- What is your favorite guilty pleasure food?
PIZZA -- you should know that one!!
- What has been your biggest life lesson from this entire experience, such as making it so far in American Idol, and just other great successes you've experienced?
My biggest life lesson has been having a good attitude and being easy to work with. I have met many people working on different shows not mention crossing paths with so many of the people who worked on Idol. They remember you for your attitude and it can make or break you.
I've also learned that as much as I love to work, it is so important for me to remember to take some time for myself and enjoy life and friends. Not to mention its important to always give back.
